Hello and Welcome Back to my "Little Patch-A-Heaven!" Today I have a couple more ornaments to add to my tree! I added 8 horse shoes. (4 I left the original, silver color, and 4 I spray painted metallic gold.) Then I added a Suede Leather Lacing string to be able to hang them and tied the lacing with a cream colored bow. Now, if you add real horse shoes to your tree I would recommend using aluminum shoes(racing plates). The aluminum racing plates are much lighter and don't weigh down the branches.

Here are some pics of what I did:
(Once again, please ignore the horrible manicure going on in these pics. All this crafting is hard on a girls nails!!)

Here I am adding the Suede Lacing. I doubled the lace then made a loop, then put the ends through the loop and pulled it tight against the shoe. Then tied the ends together in a knot at the top.
